Collect multiple warehouses in order proposal

It is now possible to collect an order proposal with items from different warehouses on one purchase order. You can add the new Collect multiple warehouses field in the selection of the Order proposal entry layout to achieve this. The Collect multiple warehouses field is only available if you have activated Multiple warehouses.

Collecting multiple warehouses in the order proposal reduces the number of purchase orders and it limits the order costs a supplier can charge. 

Create purchase order without issue

A new action, Create purchase order, has been added to the Purchase request workflow (Profit). This action converts an approved purchase request to a purchase order without sending the order to the purchasing contact. You use this action when you have already given an order to a supplier and only want to record the corresponding purchase order administratively. This prevents the supplier from receiving the order twice. You can still use the existing Create and issue purchase order action to still issue an added purchase order to a purchasing contact via the workflow.

Change purchase order following approved purchase request

From approved purchase requests, it is now possible to change purchase order lines. This allows you to make price changes in order lines after you receive an order confirmation from your supplier and prevents price differences when matching and reconciling purchase invoices.

Want to reassess any changes to the order line? Then use the purchase order workflow. However, you need to set up this workflow first.

The number of the waiting order and the number of the order proposal can be changed

The following has been optimised:

• In a non-processed sales order or cost estimate, you can now change the Number of waiting order and Number of order proposal fields for the components of an Explosion item.
• In a non-processed Production order, you can now change the Number of waiting order and Number of order proposal fields for the components of a make item.

This gives you flexibility to change existing orders without having to delete or re-add lines first.

Production order display expansion

When consulting a production order, a link to any assigned sales order or cost estimate has been added to the Part production order view. This gives insight into the sales data for which you produce. To do this, you must add the new First assigned sales order line and First assigned cost estimate fields to the view yourself.

The new Purchase allocation and Sales allocation action buttons have also been added to the view, allowing you to open the linked sales order or cost estimate immediately.

Scheduled tasks

There are two new scheduled tasks:

• Calculate cost/transfer price compositions
  For this task, the Calculate cost price and Calculate transfer price actions are always performed if the Determine transfer price automatically field is selected in the header of an assembled item. 
• Generate packing slips
  This task performs the Generate packing slip action, which you launch from the Packing slips view. This is interesting when you want to automatically generate a pick list.
